So? phia Lot (singer and Mt?? Mnry Colcman about it. Mrs. kocbtager and Mien Coleman were so indignant In turn that they bought the central box of the balcony tor the Sat urday night performance to "see for them? selves. Miss Podcll accompanied them. M!;s Ordway, wearing a cutaway coat and a divided skirt, made her entrance, shout? ing "Down with the men!" Mrs. l.oebingor. Miss Co:ernan and Miss Podell were on thr.-ii foot In an lr.^nt. ?'Don't look at her!" cried Mies Coleman. "fjook at us; we're r?al suffragette*!" "Yes, yes!' added Mrs .lyo.jbjngor, ami don't rhrlek. 'Down with the men!" Make It 'Down with those that burlcsrjuo woman? kind-' " CfiUers Could Not Stop Them. Mis* Ordway stopped :n amazement. The bonze cheered until only the trombone and the basedrura sounded through the uproar. Ushers, accoznpnuird by the special police? men of the theatre, hastened to the bo.v and talked about making arrests. "Indeed you'H not." Miss Coleman re? torted. "I'm a practicing attorney, and the law says" But before she- could tell the abashed men what it did say MIfs Ordway began acfiln. "Arc you a man?" Miss Coleman demand? ed with a scornful gesture toward the ac? tress's exaggerated costume. ''You're certainly not a woman." Mrs. I-oeblnger cried. "I'm an Englishwoman," Miss Ordway snapped back. "*nd I'm i?s much a -suf? fragette as any of you." "you're not, you're not," Interrupted Mr?

But Misd Ordway was quite as triumphant "You've made me! You've mad" me!" she called gleefully, and finished her sketch. "She'll sec whether we've made her," Mis. I/oeblnger said last night at her home, 31 Edge-combe Avenue. "We stood in the rear of the balcony for tho rest of the perform? ance Saturday night, and when che time for this dreadful woman's second appearance came, they put on moving pictures. So much for that. "We are making arrangements now to get her route, and whenever or wherever she offers this shameful buriesnue we purpose to stand up and let. audiences sec what true suffragettes arc. We propose to tell what they are. too, and Miss Ordway will find out whether she. ha6 been 'made.' " BALDWIN OPPOSES TAFT Disputes President'? View That the Panama Canul Should lie Fortified. New Haven1, Conn., January 23.? Governor Simeon 13. Baldwin said that ho opposes the idea of president Tail in fortifying' the Panama Canal'. A? the Governor is a member of the So? ciety for tho Settlement of Interna? tional Disputes, and lias been president of the American Social Sciences Asso? ciation, his views carry much weight. He said, in discussing Mr. Taft's ad? dress made , before the Pennsylvania Society, that the President undoubted? ly possesses information unknown to the public, but that theoretically tho need for fortifying the canal was not apparent. "President Taft," lie remarked, "has the responsibility resting on his shoul? ders of seeing that, tho Interests of the United States in Central America are properly protected. From the standpoint of an idealist the reasons for a contrary view to his seem very strong, but the question is a practical one. President Taft. 1 presume, has announced his conclusions without fully weighing the obstacles which foreign courts and capitals may throw In tho way of a purely peaceable ad? ministration of our commercial in? terests in that Quarter. "The nation from which, nnturally, the most danger would be apprehended is England, and the relations between the United States and Hu gl and have never 'seemed closer than now. I feol quite sure that any treaty we might negotiate with England regarding tho use of the canal In time of -war would bp scrupulously respected, and if any question of the construction or a treaty provision arose T feel equally confidant that Englnnd would bp ready, if wo wore, to submit it to a tribunal."
